The latest module is set in Avernus, one of the nine hells and players are tasked with killing devils and demons in various forms. Earlier modules have been set in all over the realms from the frozen plains of the Icewind Dale to the Jungles of Chult, and unless you pay to complete these modules through the Zen store, you will have to spend quite some time in each of these locales to gain boons which will improve your character.

Some modules and areas are very fun and engaging while others feel rushed and even incomplete. The main area of Avernus is basically just a reskinned version of the Guild Stronghold Map, which ruins the immersion a bit for me personally.

Leveling in Neverwinter is much faster than it was if you go back a few years, and it is most enjoyable and engaging if you are playing for the first time. It has just begun. Recent updates have made Neverwinter less grindy, but you should still be prepared to spend months playing to reach any sort of end-game unless you are prepared to sink some money into your character. You have to grind to get your boons, gear, mounts which are very expensive , companions, and then of course artifacts and enchantments which will take a long long time to level to the highest ranks.

A lot of this content is time-gated as well so you have to come back and progress a little every day. This does open up for quite a lot of theorycrafting and meta which is one of the strengths of Neverwinter. I really enjoy this part of the game. There are a lot of different skills, items, and systems you can use to bring your character to the next level.

In Neverwinter, you have skirmishes, dungeons, epic dungeons, and trials. I would define only epic dungeons and trials as end-game as skirmishes and dungeons are usually very easy and are mostly used for leveling. Trials only take about half an hour to complete and consist of just one boss encounter with no trash. Epic dungeons generally take less than an hour. If you enjoy solo play, doing dungeons are in no way required in Neverwinter.

The races are also based on Dungeons and Dragons lore. You can be a tiefling, a drow, an elf, a halfling, a half-orc, a human, a half-elf … pretty much all the standards. The issues arise in the races that require purchase. The biggest offender in this category in my opinion is dragonborn. Neverwinter is an undeniably pay-to-win game. This starts with race.

The primary problem I have with this system is how expensive the best races are. Like, sure, you can buy dragonborn for twenty U. Well, guess what? You have to buy each of these fancy races separately and at least two of them the drow renegades and moon elves are bundled in with huge expansion packages. I would say the best parts of Neverwinter are in fact before you hit endgame content.

If you ask me, the point where things went downhill for the game was the release of Elemental Evil and the introduction of an endless slog of grinding. Sure, other expansions have come out since then, but EE stands out in levels of sheer awfulness. The sheer amount of time you have to sink into this game — and the amount of rewards you get for that valuable time — makes Neverwinter not worth it anymore.
